Privacy when downloading from a web site

When I download a document or image on the WEB, see other my path of the file? To help you remember specific things about a company or a person, I have nicnames for their files well, it woud be embarrassing if they were able to see those names somehow. Not that they are offensive... just ridiculous ;)

Number of files - particularly documents created by word processing programs and images created by digital cameras - contain "metadata", which may include personal or location information that'd rather you keep private.  It's completely outside any file name you have given to the file.

There are different methods and tools available to "scrub" the files before sharing.  For example, only Word 2010 has a built-in "document inspector" that allows you to watch and remove metadata.  See also http://lawyerist.com/how-to-quickly-and-easily-remove-meta-data/ you can use your favorite search engine to find more ways to remove document metadata.

Regarding the images, the files created by digital cameras usually have "EXIF" metadata included, which not only contains information such as the date parameters, time and camera, but may also include GPS information if the camera has this feature (for example, a camera in a smart phone).  See, for example, the results of this Google search: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=remove+jpeg+metadata

Some - but not all - file sharing web sites automatically scrub metadata.  It is safer to do it yourself before you download files.

And just to be pedantic, 'lung' sounds as if your system memory involves a lot of hot air.  The word you're looking for is "mnemonic".
